A mate reckons he knows someone whose claimed to have dabbled in the way of the dog; and i reckon i witnessed some dogging last summer close to a windfarm in the central belt, which has led me to conclude that dogging is rife. It's everywhere. Most of you lot have probably done it/are doing it right now.

...me, my girlfriend and a couple of her mates used to drive to some nearby woods (Ashdown Forest for any Kent types) and find a darkened section of carpark in which to smoke weed. I'm not sure dogging had been invented back then, but we were aware that there would occasionally be a few cars there with, err, steamy windows.

Anyhoo, one night we were puffing away when car headlights were seen to have entered the woods and be driving towards us at high speed. Suspecting that it might be the fuzz we quickly stashed our stash. Sure enough 20 seconds later there's a copper knocking on my window with me trying to keep it together while he asks us where we came from, how long we'd been there and if we'd seen anyone. Satisfied that he didn't want to bust a bunch of 17 year old smokers, he returned to his car and began reversing. As the headlights panned across the bushes directly in front of us, revealed in all his glory was a completely naked man sporting an impressive woody. Policeman was out of his car like a shot and the last we saw of our woodland visitor was a pair of pale buttocks disappearing between the trees.

I assume that he had been attempting to start some dogging with some disgruntled couple who weren't up for it and had called the police. Was all pretty surreal, particularly as I was mashed out of my box at the time.

I always thought it involved being a lone person parked in a well-known spot waiting for like minded strangers, but someone the other day asked me if my boyfriend had ever taken me dogging so I suppose not.

...there's two parties I believe - the loner in a carpark/layby and then a couple in a car wanting to get frisky. Whether the couple just want to be watched or want someone to join in is up for negotiation. I've always assumed it got it's name as the loner would use walking a dog as an excuse to be out and abotu at night, but I may well be wrong.

Scondly, now that you know, has your boyfriend ever taken you dogging?

I've chanced upon (come across?) all manner of middle aged men whilst they festoon 'liberated' women with jizz. Rarely a labrador in sight, quite a few sightings of spaniel's ears though.

The New Forest is said to be the dogging capital of the UK. In a step-up from the 80's past time of discovering jazz mags in hedgerows, local mountain bikers have been known to encounter porn shoots in and around Burley. The village, not Kate.
